Brazilian consumers’ perception of knowledge regarding the presence of the β-casein polymorphism in milk [PDF]
: A2 milk contains the A2 β-casein protein, which does not release the opioid peptide β-casomorphin-7 (BCM-7) during digestion. However, there is limited knowledge among Brazilian consumers regarding the concept, characteristics, benefits, and market ...

A2 milk - Advantages and Challenges in the Manufacturing of Dairy Products
A2 milk is characterized by a difference in the amino acid at position 67 of the β-casein polypeptide chain, which releases much smaller amounts of bioactive opioid peptide β-casomorphin - 7 upon digestion.

Beta-casein (BC) is frequently expressed as BC A2 and BC A1 in cow’s milk. Gastrointestinal digestion of BC A1 results in the release of the opioid peptide beta-casomorphin 7 (BCM7) which is less likely to occur from BC A2. This work was aimed to produce

The A2 milk case: a critical review [PDF]
This review outlines a hypothesis that A1 one of the common variants of beta-casein, a major protein in cows milk could facilitate the immunological processes that lead to type I diabetes (DM-I). It was subsequently suggested that A1 beta-casein may also be a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD), based on between-country correlations of CHD ...

A1 and A2 milk caseins-comparative FTIR and spectroflourimetry analysis
Around 35% of the total caseins are β-caseins, which are further classified as A1 β-caseins and A2 β-caseins, based on differences in the amino acid composition of both. A2 is the wild type genetic variant of β-casein while A1 is the mutant.

Milk proteins and human health: A1/A2 milk hypothesis
Sir, Milk from dairy cows has been regarded as nature’s perfect food, providing an important source of nutrients including high quality proteins, carbohydrates and selected micronutrients. More than 95% of the cow milk proteins are constituted by caseins and whey proteins.
